Phil Savage fired

The Browns Board
104 39 7.4k
  • Terrible move. There is boatloads of talent on this roster and it's all because of Phil Savage. Romeo xxxxed Phil's career.

  • while savage isn't a great PR guy, he's a decent evaluator of talent who makes moves to get the players the team needs. we should have found a way to keep him on as director of player personnel or director of scouting.

    and crennel absolutely killed savage's tenure here. the last six games have been some of the worst football i've ever watched sixteen minutes of.

  • Savage done enough to kill his own career, the email to the fan and how he handled the KWII staph thing. Think Lerner figured the team needed the clean slate image so the players will see change not just a cover up. plus it got Savage out of here on the cheap. plus maybe lerner figured no one would come here under savage.

  • Nothing on WTAM's website. Nothing on WKYC or WEWS either. Nothing on WOIO.

  • Via WTAM it was Triv who called it; stating that 'believe me, Phil is no longer with the Browns organization'

  • I am wondering what this means in regards to Crennel. If Lerner is cleaning house so quickly, why haven't we heard that Crennel is gone? Might he being staying on in some capacity?

    Triv may have got the story from the same PFT rumormill. Triv hates Savage more than Ghoolie does.

    This would seem to be a newsworthy story, and i can't find it anywhere substantial. Anyone find it?

  • The majors probably won't report it, roach, until it is proven 100%, but the rumor mills are running wild...

  • I could easily see Crennel staying around as d-coordinator for Schotty, Cowher, or McDaniels.

  • I hope not, DTBH. What would the point be???

  • It's the fast-track to a sucky, shit-ass prevent defense. That's what Cleveland is all about. What is not to get?

  • Savage wasn't bad but he dug his own grave by resigning DA and sending that stupid email.

  • Well I heard Triv about a month ago stating he had talked to Lerner himself and Lerner is Quoted as saying that romeo would definately be fired and that savage would be demoted meaning basically hes gone...so...No real surprise to Me...Triv had the scoop a month ago...

    Add to that the fact that he should have shit-canned Crennel a long time ago, or never hired him, and I can justify why he's gone. But other than that, the guy brought in a ton of talent.

  • I suddenly feel a bit better and after crennel is canned tomorrow i will feel even better but who is randy going to replace them with?

    GULP!

    I think that is one thing that hurt us that the GM did not get to hire the coach he wanted, or at least try and get the coach he wanted, being the fact that we were hiring both that year anyway. I do not want to make that mistake again. We need a true team in their not a fake one.

    I totally agree

    Don't blame Crennel for ruining Savage's tenure, Savage could have either fired Crennel or quit at ANY TIME but he stuck with Romeo.

    He made his bed and this is what he deserves.
